PRIVATE TALKS

"That woman. She's no human at all" Pallavi sat on the bed.

Rudra poured water in the glass and handed it to her along with her medicines which she gulped and laid back on the bed followed by Rudra who switched off the lights pulling her close to him covering them in sheets.

"How could she do that? I heard there were children in that palace. And when I think of Nandu's kidnapping they did the right thing" Pallavi scoffed making Rudra caress her hair.

"Baby girl! What they did can never be changed. All we have now is the future and that future depends on the decisions Guru Pandiyan will take" Rudra stated making Pallavi raise her head to look at him.

He caressed her cheek as she warned "Don't hide anything from me. Even if it's the darkest secret" making him smile and kiss her lips.

"God I thought your uncle was an asshole but turned out everyone in your family are assholes" Mahi cursed walking to the couch sitting on it.

Arjun followed her and side hugged her "Bangaram! Not everyone is the same in our family. You and I are different aren't we? Don't be angry".

Mahi pushed Arjun away but he just held her to him resting his chin on her shoulder "How can I not be angry Arjun? What they did was a crusade in thirst of power which was lost during the time of our ancestors".

"I knew that my family always believed in the old world but never thought that they'd actually follow our ancestors too" Arjun guiltily said.

"And now Nandu is paying the price" Mahi accused making him sigh closing his eyes.

"I am also sad for that. But something tells me that she's safe" Arjun said making Mahi turn her head at him.

"Really?" Mahi asked making him nod hugging her to him.

"I don't think Cholas would do the same thing as we Pandiyans did to them" Arjun assured her as Mahi rested her head on his chest making him kiss her forehead.

CP took their two year old daughter Meera from the crib making her sleepily smile at him as she looked around for her mother "You want Mumma?"

Meera nodded innocently as he walked towards the bed and laid Meera down beside Hima whose back is to him "Sweetheart! Your mum is upset why don't we make her smile?"

Meera grinned and pushed her hands to Hima's waist and strated tickling her mother followed by CP making Hima laugh trying to get away from them but CP lifted her into his arms caging her and continued tickling her.

"Stop.....stop....my stomach is aching" Hima yelled making him stop as Hima panted and pulled Meera onto her lap.

"Mumma happy?" Meera asked in her baby voice.

"Why wouldn't I? After all my daughter made me happy" Hima pinched her cute baby cheeks.

Meera gave her a grin showing her rabbit teeth making  the couple chuckle as Hima hugged her daughter tightly "I can't even bare at the thought of our Meera being kidnapped".

CP tightened his hold around his both loves promising "If you think for a second that I'll put Meera's life in risk, you know better than that baby" making her look at him.

"I love you" Hima snuggled into CP's chest as he kissed Meera's and Hima's forehead hardly.

Siva sighed pushing her hair back from her face as the hot shower eased her muscles. She turned the shower off after washing herself thoroughly before wiping herself dry and tied the towel around her body walking out to see her son sleeping peacefully on the bed with pillows on either side of him.

She walked into the closet and wore her dress throwing the towel in the laundry and came out of the closet and kissed her son's cheeks before she went in search of her husband to find him in the balcony looking out at the palace grounds. She tiptoed towards him and scared him "Boom" making him sigh.

She pouted and turned around to walk away but she was pulled back with her back to his front as he whispered into her ear "I told you I'm not that easily scared" and bite her ear lobe.

His left hand went under her shirt as his right hand started unbuttoning her shirt from the top "I like you in my clothes Sive but I love you without clothes" making her blush and turn her face aside kissing his jaw as he pulled the sleeve down her left shoulder and started kissing her shoulder making her gasp.

"And I like my husband unworried" Siva retorted breathless making him sigh as she pushed his hands and faced him.

She rounded her arms around his neck running her fingers through his hair as he pulled her close with his arms around her waist "We should have found them sooner. May be it wouldn't have turned out like this then".

"It's not your fault. The Pandiyans have to reap what they sow. And seeing you sitting and not doing anything I'm sure that Nandu is fine" Siva said with confidence making him smile.

"How do you know?" Deva asked making her roll her eyes.

"I'm your wife your Majesty! I know everything about you" Siva proudly said making him raise his eyebrow.

"Really? Then tell me when was our first kiss?" Deva asked making her chuckle.

"It's so easy. In the washroom. I still remember how you pinned me to the wall and stole my first kiss" Siva bit his chin.

"Oh? I thought you knew me better than that Sive" Deva chuckled pinching her cheek making her confused "You really think I would wait these many years for just a kiss?"

Siva narrowed her eyes and gripped his hair at the back of his head pulling him close to her "What are you hiding from me?"

He smirked pressing their lips together speaking into her mouth "So many things and one of them is how I devoured your body without you knowing" making her widen her eyes as he started kissing her before she could speak anymore.
